Talking to Hemma — what to ask

Hemma has a built-in AI chat that knows your project. Ask it a question in plain language and it searches your documents, budget, contractors, milestones, and calendar to give you an answer — with links to the source so you can verify it yourself.

01What Hemma knows

Hemma answers questions based on what is in your project:

  • Budget — outstanding amounts, budget lines, what is paid and what is not
  • Contractors — who you have added, their trade, their quotes and invoices
  • Documents — invoices, quotes, contracts, permits, plans that have been processed
  • Milestones and decisions — what is done, what is pending, what is upcoming
  • Calendar — upcoming events, due dates, contractor visit appointments
  • Messages — email threads and the information extracted from them

Hemma does not know things outside your project. It cannot look up public records, access the internet, or answer general construction questions.

02Questions that work well

  • "What is my outstanding amount for the electrician?"
  • "Which contractor did I choose for the roofing?"
  • "When is the next inspection?"
  • "What invoices are still unpaid?"
  • "How much have I spent on flooring so far?"
  • "Did Claes send a quote yet?"
  • "What documents arrived last week?"

03What Hemma won't do

Hemma is a read-only assistant. It answers questions — it does not take actions on your behalf. It will not pay an invoice, send an email, mark a milestone complete, or update your budget. It also does not make predictions or estimates beyond what is in your project data.

If Hemma does not find an answer, it says so clearly rather than guessing.

04Where to find it

The Hemma chat is in the main navigation. Look for the chat icon or "Talk to Hemma" link.

05Usage limits

You can ask up to 20 questions per hour. This limit resets every hour. If you hit it, wait a few minutes and try again.

06Common questions

Does Hemma learn from my questions? Hemma uses your questions only to answer them. Questions are logged in a privacy-safe way (names and amounts are stripped) to help improve the product, but they are not used to train AI models on your data.

Can I ask in Dutch or French? Yes. Ask in any of the three project languages and Hemma will reply in the same language.

Hemma gave me a wrong answer. The AI has access only to what is in your project. If a document was not processed correctly, the answer may reflect that error. Follow the source link in the response to check the underlying data. If something is wrong with a document, see reviewing and correcting what the AI extracted.
